Justin had heard about Krystal's ruthlessness, knowing she wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice her own forces to eliminate her enemies completely. She could even drag others down with her when necessary.
Nobody dared to provoke Madame Krys in the underworld, as everyone wanted to prolong their lives in this line of work.
As Justin slowly released his grip on Lina, his eyes remained fixed on Krystal, a cold smirk forming on his face.
Krystal's heart raced irregularly, realizing that offending Justin would have dire consequences for her future. Although he wouldn't openly confront her, she knew he was capable of causing trouble behind the scenes.
However, in this situation, she had to confront him, not for Lina's sake, but for her own redemption.
As Justin approached her, his laughter grew louder, and he casually patted her shoulder. "We're all from the streets, Madame Krys. No need to get angry! I don't want this girl anymore!"
Krystal smiled back, her bright red lips accentuating her shrewd and dominant nature.
"If you desire beautiful girls, Justin, I can arrange two for you later." She enunciated each word clearly. "But these two, I'm sorry, I can't comply! They have great potential, and I can't bear to lose them!"
"Understood, understood!" Justin responded casually, his smile intact.
Krystal signaled to her subordinates with a glance, and they promptly escorted Lina and Renee away.
Krystal flipped her hair. "Justin, if I recall correctly, I've rented this half of the ship."
Justin chuckled dryly, understanding her dismissal, and swiftly departed with his men.
Krystal sighed with relief as she watched him leave.
One of her trusted underlings approached and whispered in her ear, "Madame Krys, how should we deal with those two girls?"
"Settle them in and let them freshen up," Krystal instructed. "Then spread the word. Make them perform laborious tasks! They've offended Justin and won't learn their lesson unless we teach them!"
Gabby, Krystal's trusted right-hand woman, nodded silently, wearing a somewhat sorrowful expression. Having been by Krystal's side for many years, she knew that Krystal wouldn't easily go against someone for the sake of a girl.
With the clash against Justin today, the feud between the two factions had already begun despite not openly showing it. In the days to come, they would continue sailing on the sea and frequently encounter each other, necessitating careful handling of the situation.
